We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Joe And Hannah French a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Joe and Hannah, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?
Both sets of parents raised us doing things like hiking and camping. We both had a “go play outside” kind of upbringing that ultimately brought us to a place in our lives that made us very comfortable in nature. We love adventuring, hanging out, cooking meals and sleeping outside!
Joe and Hannah, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
We grew up playing outside and tent camping regularly. Over the last 15 years or so we have watched most of the local campgrounds prioritize RV camping, so we decided to try to keep the art of tent camping alive. We rent tent camping equipment to people who travel to the area and either don’t own equipment or don’t want the difficulty of traveling with all their stuff. We always use the best equipment that will make the best camping vacation for anyone who wants to try it!!
How’d you meet your business partner?
We met each other in Utah as transplants from other states. Joe moved in the 90’s to rock climb and Hannah moved in 2009 to see what Utah had to offer. Within a few weeks of meeting, Joe asked Hannah to go on a rock climbing date. That was just the start of the last 17 years full of outdoor adventures together.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
As our business has been growing the best source of new clients has been via Google! People who are planning trips to the area can find us on Google by doing a search. We really appreciate Google as well as our wonderful guests who have given us amazing 5 star reviews!
